Chapter 21: The Power of the Lotus King Cannot Be Provoked

The breath of the black dragon was extremely cold, and its giant mouth, carrying a sharp and fierce wind, could swallow everything.

Yun Yi was alarmed; even though he had a good nature, this was still his first time facing such a scene. It was impossible not to feel even a little fear in his heart.

But since he was here, backing down was absolutely not an option, yet he could not just let the black dragon eat him.

Splash!

Yun Yi’s body shook and he directly dove deeper into the Dark Pool.

Normally, Yun Yi should have jumped out of the Dark Pool and run for his life, but instead, he went the opposite way, diving straight into the black dragon’s territory.

Yun Yi knew very well that given the power difference between him and the black dragon, even if he jumped out of the Dark Pool, he couldn’t escape and would still be swallowed by the dragon. So, Yun Yi chose not to do anything meaningless and instead submerged into the Dark Pool to look for other ways to deal with the black dragon.

More importantly, the environment of the Dark Pool greatly helped Yun Yi’s training. While practicing here, his skills improved all the time.

"Chuckle… You actually ran towards the deep pool. It seems you are too scared to think straight. Kid, you have now become an easy prey for me. Just let me eat you, don’t worry, I won’t let you feel any pain at all."

The black dragon laughed to itself, its eyes filled with mockery. After all, in its view, Yun Yi was simply too weak. The only thing that made the black dragon feel a little pressure was the natural aura of the King of Darkness from the Dark Spirit Body; everything else was not even on the same level.

Moreover, the slight pressure from the aura was completely transformed into excitement for the black dragon.

Below the deep pool, Yun Yi saw the swaying body of the black dragon, which looked like a towering pillar, making Yun Yi feel too intimidated to think about attacking.

"Damn it, I’ve really fallen into a trap. My strength has risen to the seventh grade of the Open Spirit Realm, but compared to the black dragon, I am still too weak."

Yun Yi couldn’t help but curse; even though he had prepared himself mentally for the worst before sneaking into the depths of Grand Dragon Cliff, the current situation seemed to be even worse than he had imagined.

But Yun Yi had no way out. To save his grandfather and father, and for the Yun Family Army, he had to seek a slim chance of survival in this dangerous place. The Dark Pool was his only opportunity.

If the legend of the dragon soul is false, and if the dragon soul does not truly exist, merely this Dark Pool could bring unimaginable benefits to Yun Yi.

Unfortunately, everything is just an if; the dragon soul not only exists but is also powerful beyond words.

Yun Yi felt helpless and could only keep swimming deeper, using his nimble movements to absorb the dark energy in the Dark Pool to grow stronger.

"Forget it, I’m done playing with you. Once I devour you and completely digest your spirit body, I will become the true King of Darkness."

The black dragon put away its playful look, not wanting to waste any more time. Yun Yi’s Dark Body was far too tempting for him.

At that moment, as Yun Yi swam below the Dark Pool, he suddenly felt a tremendous pressure coming from all around him.

The black water seemed to freeze, turning into an unbreakable cage. As the pressure grew stronger and closer, Yun Yi found he could not move at all.

"This is bad."

Yun Yi thought to himself that this was not good, quickly using all his strength, as the black lotus in his dantian swayed, trying to break free from the confinement.

Unfortunately, the difference in power was just too great; in comparison to this pressure, Yun Yi was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

The Dark Pool was the black dragon’s territory; here, the black dragon was the absolute ruler. He could control all the power of the Dark Pool freely, and trapping a seventh grader of the Open Spirit Realm was simply too easy.

Under the control of the black dragon, Yun Yi’s body began to rise continuously. In the blink of an eye, he floated to the surface, but the pressure around him still showed no sign of easing.

The weak Yun Yi was brought before the black dragon. The black dragon stared at Yun Yi and couldn’t help but stick out its red tongue to lick its lips, its eyes filled with greed.

Yun Yi struggled desperately, but it was useless.

"Little one, stop struggling. There won’t be any pain."

The black dragon chuckled and then opened its mouth wide again, ready to bite down on Yun Yi.

"Black Lotus, I’m counting on you."

Yun Yi shut his eyes tightly. In this situation, he had no way out and could not resist at all, only waiting helplessly for death, waiting to be swallowed by the black dragon.

At this moment, Yun Yi’s only hope was the Black Lotus in his dantian. The Black Lotus was born from nine lotus platforms, containing the truths of the world, and would never submit to the black dragon. This was Yun Yi’s last hope and the greatest support for his journey to Grand Dragon Cliff.

Whoosh~

The black dragon swallowed Yun Yi in one bite, just like gulping down a date, exactly as he had said before, without causing Yun Yi any pain at all.

All around was darkness and chilling cold. Yun Yi couldn’t open his eyes, and a terrifying pressure rushed at him like a wild storm. This pressure was several times stronger than what he had felt in the Dark Pool, almost crushing Yun Yi to pieces.

Yun Yi knew he was inside the black dragon, which was refining him, trying to steal his Dark Body.

Crack, crack…

Yun Yi’s body began to make cracking sounds; his skin started to crack, and blood flowed out continuously. His bones felt as if they were about to be crushed.

If this refining speed continued, in less than half an hour, Yun Yi would be completely refined, leaving no trace behind.

The pain felt as if it were tearing Yun Yi apart, and he couldn’t scream or even struggle at all.

This was a truly hopeless situation, with no way out in sight.

Fate seemed to freeze; Yun Yi was out of options and was about to be completely refined by the black dragon.

But Yun Yi’s will never wavered. He firmly believed that his Innate Dao Body was not so fragile and could not be easily devoured.

Suddenly, the black lotus in his dantian stirred.

It seemed that Yun Yi’s unyielding spirit and his unparalleled trust in his Innate Dao Body moved the black lotus.

Or perhaps the black dragon’s unreasonable provocation offended the black lotus’s royal power. It must be known that the Innate Dao Body is not something just anyone can touch; in the black lotus’s mind, the black dragon has no right to possess it.

Buzzing…

The black lotus moved and actually left the lotus platform. This was the first time such a thing had happened.

After leaving the lotus platform, the black lotus appeared above Yun Yi’s head, emitting many streams of black energy that formed a black shield, securely protecting Yun Yi within it.

At the same time, beams of black light shot out like sharp swords, beginning to absorb the black dragon’s essential energy.

Howl…

The black dragon, enjoying the process of refining Yun Yi, suddenly let out a heartbreaking roar. Its huge body began to roll in the Dark Pool.
